Nothing like a soul-refreshing hike surrounded by nature’, followed by homemade bagels fresh out of the oven—and to top it off, a killer margarita to end the day just right. Grateful for the simple joys.

You can’t politely disagree with someone’s right to exist and expect things to be ‘okay.’ Denying someone’s humanity isn’t a difference of opinion—it’s a rejection of their very being. Equality and respect are non-negotiable.
